What a weekend is in front of me! Pool and pints tonight (followed by a trip to play live poker no doubt), Ireland vs Wales tomorrow afternoon in one of the most important matches of the Six Nations Rugby Union tournament, half the Paddy Power Poker team plan to go see MGMT Saturday evening in one of Dublin’s largest live music venues and the lure of online poker always calling in my ear! What to do?!

What tales of madness will I have to report next week? After a weekend like this one threatens to be, you can feel more exhausted walking into Paddy Tower on Monday morning than you did leaving the previous Friday evening. The few days of the week you have to relax the body and mind have not served their purpose, in fact you’ve punished both by late nights and constant running around!

I’ll definitely get some online poker in on Sunday afternoon and evening though, that is one weekend ritual I rarely miss, defying lack of sleep and the pressing need iron next weeks clothes. Luckily the good people in Poker Operations never take a day off (or even get to experience a night out!) so despite the temptations of the weekend, the tournaments and cash tables of Paddy Power Poker are always ready to enjoy!

It’s getting very close to the Irish Open and we are all running around like green-assed flies getting everything in order for the biggest and best poker tournamentin in Europe!
